| The Nutch {@link org.apache.nutch.plugin.Pluggable Plugin} System. |
| <p> |
| <b>The Nutch Plugin System provides a way to extend nutch functionality</b>. |
| A large part of the functionality of Nutch are provided by plugins: |
| All of the parsing, indexing and searching that nutch does is actually |
| accomplished by various plugins. |
| </p><p> |
| In writing a plugin, you're actually providing one or more extensions of the |
| existing extension-points (<i>hooks</i>). |
| The core Nutch extension-points are themselves defined in a plugin, |
| the <code>nutch-extensionpoints</code> plugin. |
| Each extension-point defines an interface that must be implemented by the |
| extension. The core extension-points and extensions available in Nutch are |
| listed in the {@link org.apache.nutch.plugin.Pluggable} interface. |
